Caution: When working on control systems:
Protection against corrosion (humidity entering pushrods) required for
previously used inspection openings to check minimum reach of thread to be

Used rod end bearings may have different thread lengths with identical heads.
Therefore, before adjusting rod end bearings, remaining thread reach must be
checked by dismantling.
